DETAILED DESCRIPTION
• FIG. 1A through 11, discussed below, and the various embodiments used to describe the principles of the present disclosure in this patent document are by way of illustration only and should not be construed in any way to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of the present disclosure may be implemented in any suitably arranged display technologies. Embodiments of the present disclosure are described with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail. The same reference numbers are used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and structures incorporated herein may be omitted to avoid obscuring the subject matter of the present disclosure.
• An organic light emitting display device supplies a current corresponding to data voltage applied to a pixel circuit to an organic light emitting diode, thereby enabling the organic light emitting diode to emit a light with a luminance corresponding to the supplied current. In the meantime, the organic light emitting display device controls an output voltage for image data by using an output value outputted from an automatic current limiter (ACL). However, in this case, unnecessary voltage consumption is generated due to a difference between a gray level processed in the ACL and a gray level processed in an image processing unit.
• According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, voltages applied to each pixel of a display unit can be determined by using a gray level processed through an image processing unit, so that a power consumed when displaying the image data can be reduced. Further, the gray level can be processed by using a pre-processing gray level obtained from the ACL so that a distortion of image data processed by the image processing unit can be prevented.
• According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a trend line indicating a correlation between a luminance value and a voltage value can be generated by using a gray level reflecting the pre-processing gray level obtained from the ACL, and voltages applied to each pixel of the display unit can be controlled based on the generated trend line, so that the voltage can be adjusted according to luminance value which has a high correlation with voltage. Further, two colors which have a high correlation of luminance value can be adjusted from among red, green and blue into a single voltage, so that a power required for the red, green blue can be adjusted respectively.
• FIGS. 1A and 1B are block diagrams illustrating an electronic device with a power controller according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, the arrow of “electronic device” in theFIGS. 1A,1B,5A,5B,6A,6B and7 indicates a display processing path.
• Referring toFIGS. 1A and 1B, a100 can include anautomatic current limiter110, animage processing unit120, a graydata process unit130, apower controller140, and adisplay150.
• FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram illustrating theelectronic device100 schematically, andFIG. 1B is a diagram illustrating theelectronic device100 in detail.
• Theelectronic device100 ofFIG. 1B can further include an interface controller, a register controller, a memory controller, an image processor A, an image processor B, an image processor C, a source driver controller, a source driver, a gate driver, a power management IC, as well as theautomatic current limiter110, theimage processor120, the graydata processing unit130, thepower controller140, and thedisplay unit150. Suchelectronic device100 can be implemented in a Display Driver IC.
• Theimage processing unit120 can process a gray level corresponding to an image data. Theimage processor120 can serve to process the gray level of the image data appropriately in accordance with the characteristic of thedisplay unit150. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, theimage processing unit120 can process the gray level corresponding to the image data according to a color filter pattern of thedisplay unit150. The color filter pattern means an arrangement in which colors such as red, green, blue, and white are differently disposed.
• The color filter pattern can be a PenTile type pattern in which red, green, blue, and white are arranged, or can be a Bayer pattern in which red, green, blue, and green are arranged. The Bayer pattern is a pattern in which green, red and blue can be cross-arranged so that green can occupy 50% of a pattern and red and blue can occupy 25% of the pattern respectively. Theimage processing unit120 can differently process each gray level corresponding to the image data according to the color filter pattern of thedisplay unit150.
• FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of processing a gray level in an image processing unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
• Referring toFIG. 2, in general, an image data inputted to theimage processing unit120 can be formed by combining three colors of red, green and blue. Referring to thereference numeral210, a pre-processing gray level that has not been processed by theimage processing unit120 can have values of 250 for red, 200 for green, and 197 for blue.
• In this case, theimage processing unit120 can process and output the pre-processinggray level210 as red, green, blue and white according to the color filter pattern of the display unit to display the image data. Referring to thereference numeral220, a gray level processed by theimage processing unit120 can have values of 225 for red, 190 for green, 182 for blue, and 20 for white. That is, theimage processing unit120 can process the gray level according to the color filter pattern ofdisplay unit150.
• InFIG. 2, the color filter pattern can be a PenTile type pattern consisting of red, green, blue and white colors. On the other hand, theimage processing unit120 can differently process the gray level dissimilarly toFIG. 2 with respect to the Bayer pattern which is different from the PenTile type pattern.
• In the meantime, in the related art, the output voltage for the image data is controlled by using an output value of the automatic current limiter. However, an unnecessary output voltage is consumed due to a generation of a difference between the output value outputted from the automatic current limiter and the output value processed in the image processing unit.
• In the present disclosure, the voltage is controlled by using the output value outputted from theimage processing unit120, not by using the output value outputted from the automaticcurrent limiter110, so that the use of an unnecessary voltage can be reduced. To this end, theimage processing unit120 can process the gray level by using the preprocessing gray level obtained from the automaticcurrent limiter110.
• FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating examples of controlling a voltage by using an automatic current limiter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring toFIG. 3, generally, one of factors which cause a consumption of a large amount of voltage is brightness. Luminance can be a unit indicating a degree of brightness with a numerical value. The automatic current limiter110 (ACL) can reduce a power consumption by lowering the gray level when displaying image data close to white. Afirst graph310 inFIG. 3A can indicate a luminance value according to a time, and asecond graph320 inFIG. 3 can indicate a voltage value according to a time. That is, the voltage values and the luminance values can be inversely proportional to each other, and it can be known that the luminance values and the voltage value can be changed when triggering the automatic current limiter.
• Thus, theimage processing unit120 can process the gray level by using the pre-processing gray level obtained from the automaticcurrent limiter120 such that the distortion can be prevented.
• The graydata processing unit130 can determine voltage applied to each pixel of display unit by using the gray level processed by theimage processing unit120. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the graydata processing unit130 can determine voltage applied to each pixel of display unit by using the gray level having a maximum value. The graydata processing unit130 can determine voltage based on the maximum value of the gray level among the gray level processed in theimage processing unit120.
• According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the graydata processing unit130 can determine voltage applied to each pixel of display unit by using the gray level having an average value. The graydata processing unit130 can determine a voltage based on the average value of the gray level processed in theimage processing unit120.
• According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the graydata processing unit130 can generate a trend line indicating a correlation between a luminance and a voltage by using the gray level reflecting the pre-processing gray level, and can determine voltages applied to each pixel of display unit based on the generated trend line.
• FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating an example of a trend line indicating a correlation between a luminance and a voltage according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
• Referring toFIG. 4A, the graydata processing unit130 can adjust a voltage value by dividing an interval that drives an LED by turning on/off the LED according to luminance value. For example, the graydata processing unit130 can generate atrend line1 that reduces a voltage value by turning the LED on at luminance value105 according to Equation 1:
• 
  y=−0.118x+24.   (Equation. 1)
• Thetrend line1 is indicated by a solid line inFIG. 4A. However, since a drive system of the LED is changed at luminance value161, the graydata processing unit130 can generate atrend line2 according to Equation 2:
• 
  y=−0.077x+23.05.   (Equation 2)
• Thetrend line2 is indicated by a dotted line inFIG. 4A. That is, as the drive system of the LED is changed, the equation which generates the trend line can also be changed.
• Referring toFIG. 4B, when image data is inputted, the graydata processing unit130 can calculate a luminance value as shown inreference numeral410 based on a brightness ratio (On Pixel Ratio; OPR) within the image data calculated in the automaticcurrent limiter110 and a luminance value set by a user.
• $\begin{array}{cc}y=\{\begin{array}{cc}A\left(1-\left(\frac{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; label="\Delta "\; filenames="US20150130867A1-20150514-D00014.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">\Delta </figure-callout>}}{255\left(1-\phi \right)}\right)\left(x-255\phi \right)\right)& \mathrm{if}x>255\phi \\ A& \mathrm{esle}\end{array}& \left(\mathrm{Equation}3\right)\end{array}$
• InEquation 3, y is a calculated luminance value, A is a reference setting value, x is a brightness ratio (OPR). At this time, A can be set based on a change of luminance value according to the brightness ratio (OPR) at the time of continuously turning the LED on.
• In this case, the graydata processing unit130 can determine an optimal voltage from the calculated luminance value y and the reference setting value A based on the trend line (noted by the reference numeral420) indicating a correlation between the luminance and the voltage.
• Thepower controller140 can control voltages applied to each pixel of the display unit based on the determined voltage. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, thepower controller140 can control an ELVSS voltage (the second voltage) applied to each pixel of AMOLED display.
• Thepower controller140 can control the voltage applied to each pixel of the display unit through the Power Management IC. The Power Management IC can include a state machine unit (not shown) to control at least one frame included in the image data in the order of voltage control. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the state machine unit can divide the image data into a plurality of areas, and can control in the order of the voltage control of the divided area.
